We CAN Dig It!!!

THE TEAM finally beat Can You Dig It.  THE TEAM scored 3 in the first and held the bad guys to 2.  Natasha was sharp so THE TEAM wasn't giving anything away. 

There is something about that left handed pitcher that seems to keep our runs down.  THE TEAM only scored 6 runs in 5 innings and were down by 5. 

Randy went 4 for 4 with 2 RBIs and his first Home Run.  So that was awesome!

The late rally was the thing that made this game great.  Jenny was hitting the ball well but knocking it right into the gloves of those Can You Dig It ghouls.  She came through with a clutch RBI late and THE TEAM was headed toward...

... Sweet Victory



It was a fun game because everybody contributed.  Gavin took some great pictures.  Mike helped make a lot of noise.  Anybody who joins a softball team imagines a day like today.

Let's award some steroids

We have already acknowledged Randy's Home Run and Lou went 4 for 4 with a Home Run and 3 Doubles but the Jason Giambi steroids go to Peter.  He went 4 for 5 with 2 Home Runs 2 Doubles and 6 RBIs.

Jenny rallied late and Summer went 2 for 4 on top of doing a great job in left field but the Guillermo Mota steroids go to Melody who went 2 for 4 with a walk and 3 RBIs to go along with sliding under the tag on Peter's double to put THE TEAM up by 3.

Great game. Great win.

GO THE TEAM!!!

The First Round

So that was round 1 of F League.  Right now as this is being typed, Can U Dig It is playing the Madbatters.  If the Madbatters beat Can U Dig It by a score of 29-22 then THE TEAM wins the first round.  Of course no team in any league this season has scored 29 runs so I think we are not going to make it through the tie breaking process.

Enough of that baloney

THE TEAM started slow and scored zero runs in the first two innings.  Victor finally broke the seal with an RBI double.  THE TEAM chipped away with some nice rallys and Doug hit a Home Run and now THE TEAM is 4-1 going into the second round.

Here are some first round leaders:

Batting Average Men

.944   Lou

THE TEAM batted .588 with 17 Walks and 4 Strikeouts.  Let's not forget the lights out pitching from Natasha, Lou and Cassie.  Big Fun Sweet Victory

GO THE TEAM!!!

THE TEAM is loaded

THE TEAM is loaded with talent.  Of course Tiger Blood fielded like they spent the weekend doing drugs with Charlie Sheen.  Still, all the hookers and drugs in Hollywood don't make Cassie a good pitcher or Lou a great hitter.

This blog is completely fueled by Tullamore Dew and hookers though

We digress.  We'll save that for the theteamwhiskeyandhookers.blogspot.com

THE TEAM held off Tiger Blood's late rally to hand it to 'em 19-13.  Sweet victory.  Lou and Peter hit Home Runs.  Jenny had two RBIs.  Once again THE TEAM had 11 players and 8 of them had RBIs.  THE TEAM batted .667 with  3 Home Runs and 6 Doubles.  There were no walks.  We were there to play.

Peter went 4 for 4 with a Home Run and 5 RBIs but the Ryan Braun steroids go to Lou who went 4 for 4 with 2 Home Runs and 6 RBIs.

Jenny went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs and Melody went 3 for 4 with an RBI but the Melky Cabrera steroids go to Cassie who not only went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI but also did a great job pitching.

THE TEAM really is loaded with talent

GO THE TEAM!!!

The Doubleheader

Doubleheaders are taxing.  Who else is tired?  Who else has some tasty portion of their sexy body hurting after two softball games? 

All right that's enough

A little pain is so much more manageable when THE TEAM sweeps a double header.  That's not just sweet victory, that's sweet sweet victory.

THE TEAM started slow against The Madbatters with no runs in the first or second inning.  Finally Doug drove in Cassie to break the seal and we started chipping away.  THE TEAM was still not doing the usual super caliente job of hitting.  There was one triple and one double.  The other 20 hits were all singles.  However those singles all added up to a beautiful late rally and a 17-15 win for THE TEAM.

The second game was against Team Puma.  Lou had a 3 run Home Run.  Peter had a 3 run Home Run.  Victor had a 3 run Home Run.  Team Puma never stood a chance.  Jad was waving them in all night from the third base coaching box.  Eight of the 11 players on THE TEAM had RBIs.  Great effort!

Now we move on from sweet victory to sweet slumber

GO THE TEAM!!!

Can U Take a Swing

Can U Dig It sure does like to takes their walks.  We all know they aren't there to do us any favors and swing at garbage but come on!  It's the same thing they did last time but it seems to be working so I'm sure they all hoisted a Zima and cheered their shrewd softball acumen after the game.

Here is what the Winter 2013 Roster looks like:

2 Summer
3 Lou
4 Jenny
8 Cassie
10 Melody
12 Natasha
15 Jad
18 Rick
19 Doug
21 Randy
24 Peter
25 Dora
27 Victor

Welcome back Jenny and welcome back Victor.  That is a dangerous looking group there.  That dangerous looking group batted .531 with 3 Home Runs 2 Triples 2 Doubles 1 Walk and 1 Strikout in a 22-10 loss.  There is still a lot to be excited about though.  There were Home Runs by Lou, Peter and Victor.  We put together a nice little two out rally.  Let's shake the rust off and shock the world.  Or at least let's shock F League.

GO THE TEAM!!!

THE TEAM 2012

First of all Thank You Thank You Thank You for the 12 year old Irish Whiskey

                                                          Sweet Sweet Victory

I can't tell you how much I appreciate that and I can assure that most of it is already gone.  Now let's have a look at the whole year.

GO THE TEAM!!!    

THE TEAM - CHAMPIONS!!!

It's true. THE TEAM has finally won it all.  After 14 seasons, 78 wins and 62 losses with so many great players coming and going.  After losing to WP4B in the Winter 2012 Season and losing to Fugittaboudit in the Summer 2011 season.  THE TEAM beat Balls N' Dolls 21-19 and are Finally Champions.

                                                                       YES!!!

THE TEAM played like champions.  We won the toss but chose to be visitors so we could bat first.  Lou hit a leadoff triple.  Melody walked.  Peter hit a 3-run Home Run and THE TEAM never looked back.  Everybody was hitting.  There were zero strikeouts and 4 walks.  Even the outs were good hits.  THE TEAM didn't give away any at-bats.

There was a lot to be proud of.  We played within ourselves and never came unglued when things didn't go our way.

                                    THE TEAM knew if we played our game we could not lose.

                                             We battled the sun and won that one too!

                                                   Natasha and Lou both pitched beautifully

                                                              Tastes like victory

                                                                  CHAMPIONS

                                    Let's look at this picture again. It's a nice one. Thanks Bonnie

        Thank you also to Jenny for starting THE TEAM.  To Tyler for starting this blog.  To Sandy for keeping THE TEAM going.  To CJ for keeping THE TEAM alive when Sandy left.  To Chris and Dave and Victor and Terrence and Destanie who set a high standard and helped turn THE TEAM into winners.  And to the man upstaris Garry Marshall for those sweet awnings on the diamond we were supposed to play on.

GO THE TEAM!!!
